Corvette sales were already on the rise, so the 1973 performance didn't bring any surprises, with the coupe still accounting for most units leaving the assembly plant.
Chevrolet produced 30,464 units in 1973, and the coupe accounted for over 83% with 25,521 units. Only 4,943 convertibles rolled off the assembly lines.
Industry analysts predicted slower growth for the Corvette in 1973, mainly due to the price increases operated by Chevrolet. Despite selling like hotcakes, the coupe carried a $5,561 base price tag, while the cheapest convertible cost $5,398.
The Corvette in these photos is one of the units that found a buyer in 1973, and its main selling point is the survivor condition. The car has never been restored and still wears the paint sprayed in the factory by Chevrolet. The green finish isn't flawless, exhibiting the unique patina many collectors love, so if you're interested in a show car, you'll need a complete respray.
eBay seller robshopllc says this Corvette was ordered in Maryland, moved to Arizona (where it also spent most of its life), and ended up in Ohio.
As an unrestored Vette, it comes with the factory L82 engine. It produces 350 horsepower and is paired with a four-speed transmission. It runs and drives, albeit the next owner is unlikely to keep this Corvette on the road long. The mileage, also original, must be preserved, as the car has only 22K miles (approximately 35,500 km) on the clock. It's a low-mile survivor that can be parked in your garage in its current condition or restored with minor fixes.
As any connoisseur can tell with a close look at the photos, the Corvette has already received some (I'd call them questionable) upgrades, including the new steering wheel. Fortunately, the original model is still available, and the buyer will get it to bring the Corvette back to stock condition.
The car looks fantastic, and I doubt it'll remain available for long, especially as it checks all the boxes for a collectible. I still recommend that potential buyers see the car in person or order a third-party inspection, especially because it's unknown how many original parts have already been replaced. Otherwise, it's an unrestored survivor with a very intriguing number on the clock, and it's difficult to find another 1973 coupe in such great shape.
The dealer in charge of finding a new owner posted the car on eBay with a $21,000 selling price, but it also enabled the Make Offer button. If you want to check out the car in person – and I insist you do this, as you'll definitely want to check out the undersides and everything else in the vehicle, you must go to Barberton, Ohio, where the Corvette waits for the eBay listing to expire.
